Product Description

Pool Buoy (bo͞o-ē) is the first and only floating pool umbrella, a revolutionary development in water recreation that is elevating pool time to new levels of fun and sun protection. It’s a seven foot umbrella that floats in any body of water deeper than 2 feet – pool, lake, river, ocean, you name it. It is light-weight, easy to assemble, and has five cupholders for your favorite beverages. You can cool off, unwind, and enjoy the sunshine without risking sun damage. Gotta love that!

How it works
The unique design of the weighted buoy keeps the umbrella stable in both wind and waves, and the shade provides sun protection while floating freely in the water. The seven-foot beach-style umbrella is made from sturdy aluminum and covered in UV-rated fabric for “more fun, less sun” during water play. It fits precisely into the patent-pending buoy topped by a tray and five cup holders. It’s designed to be durable and withstand significant wind and wave turbulence without tipping.

What about wind
You’d be surprised how wind works with an umbrella that’s actually in the pool, versus an umbrella on the patio. The Pool Buoy umbrella is significantly closer to the ground, and less wind is able to reach under the umbrella to whisk it away. Pool Buoy’s design lowers the center of gravity for the umbrella and has built-in friction points, making it fairly difficult for wind to lift the umbrella from the buoy. Of course, Mother Nature speaks her mind every now and then with a surprising gust. When it happens to us, we carefully grab the pole until the wind dies down. One way to prevent those gusts from getting the best of you is adjusting the height of the umbrella to a lower height.

Won’t tip over
Not unless you wrestle it down, and even then, it will pop back up. The Pool Buoy is designed to withstand wind and waves. Don’t believe us? Check out the videos on our website. It doesn’t even flinch when the waves are high enough to leap out of the pool.

Offers sun protection
The seven-foot beach-style umbrella blocks 95% of UVA and UVB rays, providing generous shade and helping block the sun’s harmful rays. Frequent reapplication of sunscreen is recommended when spending any time outdoors.
